Rough vibes on this website today, likely because people feel Hopeless and Helpless Because Can't Stop It and No One Who Is Supposed To Is Trying To So Now We're Fighting Each Other™. I recommend activities such as book, or potentially instrument if you like instrument, or even do talk on phone.

people hitting chatbottom do so largely in private and not in the mentions of writers on twitter whose main fuel for articles about societal rot come from social media dunks
For all that the media has spent years freaking out about what social media does to our brains, I don’t understand why there appears to be little effort to grapple with the fact that these chatbots are, for some not insignificant portion of the population, literally psychosis machines
He put his complete trust in a chat bot that turned him into a savage murderer.

"the media is in the tank for trump" can sound like conspiracy but in most cases it's just the psychological aftereffects of "senpai talked to me!!"
From the perspective of reporting the news, it doesn’t strike me that there is a functional difference between a president who answers the phone at 4:30am in the morning but doesn’t answer a reporter’s questions, versus a president who doesn’t agreed to be interviewed.

taylor swift won a lawsuit against her former radio host for groping her but she's gonna tolerate elon musk letting his AI distribute porn of her on his platform? where's the billionaire-on-billionaire violence?
just swung on over to see if they fixed this, and, uh, they very much did not fix this. it's posting generated nudes of taylor swift
Grok is now also editing clear pornographic content onto uploaded images of people who are very likely underaged. This is absolutely beyond fucked up.

i know it's easy to talk shit online but i feel like dems can maintain the pretense of Gender w/o sacrificing moral clarity. e.g. "the draft-dodging trust fund baby wants to send your children to die in foreign wars nobody agreed to so that you'll forget about his weakness here at home"
The Dems’ fear of being called a bunch of pansies for not supporting an illegal military operation once again proves that it’s just gender all the way down

Trump admin went after Maduro for the same reason they tried so hard to keep "gang member" kilmar garcia in CECOT. They are targeting people you won't sympathize with in order to numb you to how unlawful and cruel their conduct is. Don't fall for it.

Bari Weiss watching Jay Leno's old Jaywalking segments: wait a tick this is a brilliant format
I'm well aware that this cbs line is just cynical but also it would be so funny if they actually made a nightly news cast that is just like: ZERO EXPERTS, ALL ANALYSIS IS FROM SOME DUDE WE PULLED OFF THE STREET AND HES CONFUSED ABOUT WHY WE ARE FILMING HIM IN THE BUFFALO WILD WINGS PARKING LOT
I truly cannot wait for these incredibly stupid people to find out what happens when you try to wave the flag harder than Fox News

it's kinda funny watching Weiss et al. pussyfoot around with this "average american" euphemism while the groypers who run the gov't social media accounts openly thirst for a white christian ethnostate.
ah yes, the best way to explain and understand the world is by ignoring experts and practitioners and turning our attention to the “average American,” whatever that means
This isn't about democratizing the news. It's about elevating "vibes" and "feelings" to be on par with lived experience and subject-matter expertise.

My mom initiated her divorce after 27 years of marriage to put an end to persistent infidelity. My dad married his last mistress within a year; my mom never remarried. But go on about who has the "backups".
Studies consistently show men tend to remarry within 3 years of divorce with women around 5 years and trending longer as they choose to focus on their careers and child rearing.

Watch S2 ep3 of Fallout to see a politician who can't give a speech to save their life so you can really appreciate just how skilled Mamdani is.
Mamdani: I have been told that this is the occasion to reset expectations, that I should use this opportunity to encourage the people of New York to ask for little and expect even less. I will do no such thing. The only expectation I seek to reset is that of small expectations.

seems bad that meghan markle's accessory choices receive 10x the amount of media scrutiny as elon musk creating Pedobot 9000 for the entertainment of his nazi internet friends
call me crazy but it really feels like “World’s Richest Man Creates AI Chatbot That Generates Child Porn” would’ve been a huge international outrage requiring a governmental crackdown not even 24 months ago

Still so crazy to me that the guy most eager to turn America into a pogrom-loving fascist dictatorship is... the descendant of Jewish immigrants who escaped pogroms. History has a twisted sense of humor, but with any luck, Miller will be the butt of the joke.
Miller falling short on his "authoritarian designs"?
"The deportations are lagging far behind his hopes. He has not persuaded Trump to deploy the dictatorial power he pines to see. And he has unleashed a cultural moment in defense of immigrants that is more powerful than anything he anticipated."
